Concerning the GSM modem, I'm investigating in how this can be done. NOTE that we are in french country, and actually I have no idea on HOW this can be performed. Thanks for your help.

When nagios dies it sends a page to a designated person(s).. This is not part of Nagios itelf for obvious reasons in that it cant monitor if it is not alive to monitor... The downfall of this is that the contacts have to be hard coded outside nagios (unless somebody wants to write a parser for the contacts.cfg) but this isnt really a problem unless you have a quick turnover of staff/sysadmins. :) Pascal Miquet said: > This is OK I presume, > > But how should I take care of nagios notification, if I set a service > into nagios, and like to notify persons in charge of this service ?
